LP Design
Project Objective
The objective was to redesign an LP album of our choice using photography while keeping the essence of the album and artist.
Album and Idea
I chose to design a cover for Fall Out Boy’s So Much (For) Stardust, and I photographed a guitar smashing/being smashed in a rage room. I took hundreds of photographs; below are the iterations of the gatefold design and the LP sticker.
During the critique process, it was suggested that I reshoot to capture a stronger moment. With the limited timeframe and lack of access to the original materials, I instead explored alternative ways to elevate the image. Drawing from techniques I’ve used successfully in past projects, I experimented with layered photographs, adjusting opacity and overlay settings to create a more dynamic and intentional result.
Final Album Design
Below is the final design, which is currently on display at Shake It Records. I was 1/13 students whose LP was chosen to be on display; judged by Darren, Jim, and Chris from Shake It, guest judge Jacob Moscovitch (Photo Editor at New York Magazine), and Madeline Hordinski (Photography 2 professor & Professional Photographer.
